This research at Karlstad University has been granted SEK 5m over a three-year period. The Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) is a government agency that operates under the Ministry of Education and Research, with responsibility for state-funded national and international space operations in Sweden. The SNSA also acts as the Swedish contact for international space cooperation.<\/p>\n
This funding means that the KU collaborative research group from chemistry and materials physics, will carry out experiments under microgravity conditions on parabolic flights in Bordeaux, France. Researchers intend to discover how the structure of the active layer of the solar cell is formed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very pleased that the SNSA continues to invest in our research,\u201d said Jan van Stam, Professor of Physical Chemistry at Karlstad University. \u201cWe have also been approved by ESA, the European Space Agency, to carry out our new experiments during parabolic flights in 2022. This confirms that we are on the right track in a very competitive environment and that our research here at Karlstad University is of international importance.\u201d<\/p>\n
